Abstract | African American males have been overrepresented in the prison system in the United States since the 1970s. This comprehensive survey examines the influence of the prison reentry program on the lives of African American males after they are released from jail and prison in the United States. Jail is a place of confinement for persons held in lawful custody "specifically": such a place under the jurisdiction of a local government (such as a county) for the confinement of persons awaiting trial or those convicted of minor crimes. A prison is a place for the confinement of a person in lawful detention. "To detain in custody: imprison" (American Heritage, 1969, 1970,1976, p.700). Many states incarcerate five times as many African Americans as White people. The literature has identified several hypotheses to explain why the mass incarceration of African American males in the prison system continues. The aim of this qualitative research is to examine the perceptions of African American male ex-offenders on whether the reentry system influenced their probability of recidivism within 1 year. This study is informed by an analysis of the mass incarceration of African American males in the prison system and the factors that may lead to this disproportionality. It involves inductive coding and thematic analysis. The theoretical framework comprises critical race theory, social justice theory, post-traumatic slave syndrome, and labeling theory.
